Aretha Franklin 'gravely ill', family rush to hospital to be by her side: Report

Aretha Franklin - The Queen of Soul is 76 years old and was a singing sensation back in the days when she belted out hit singles like 'Respect' and 'Natural Woman'.
UPDATED AUG 13, 2018

Legendary singer and performer Aretha Franklin is "gravely ill" as she spends time in a Detroit hospital in the company of friends and family, a new report has claimed. While it's not the first time that the singer's health struggles have made it to the headlines, but it looks like the condition could be worse this time around as her close family asks for prayers, urging at the same time to allow her some privacy. 

The Queen of Soul is 76-years-old and was a legit singing sensation back in the days - in the late 1960s and 1970s - when she belted out hit singles like 'Respect', 'Natural Woman', 'Think', 'I Say a Little Prayer', and 'Spanish Harlem'. In the peak of her career, in fact, the songstress is known for winning multiple honors, including 18 Grammy awards, a permanent place in the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame, and an induction into the GMA Gospel Music Hall of Fame.
